Wrapping issue description inside of Expand via automation rule

[Lachlan Keene]

Hi guys,

I was wondering if was was possible to insert an "Expand", meaning the text formatting option to edit an issue description making the text collapsible (in the edit description UI), however instead as apart of the Edit issue automation action.

The use case here is to ingest the original issue description into custom fields before hiding the description by wrapping it in its entirety inside of the Expand. IE setting the description to the description but wrapped up in the Expand.

Cheers!

Hi @Lachlan Keene and welcome to the community!

Unfortunately, this is not possible (at least not natively).  The renderer for Jira rich text fields is markdown which has no such capability.
